Welcome to CA - SBC!
The CA stands for Chartered Accountants (the generous sponsors that keep the game going!) and the SBC stands for the Sprott Business Competition.
This FREE competition, sponsored by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario (ICAO), allows students to make a variety of senior management decisions for a virtual firm in a virtual industry. In essence, students in teams of up to four members run their own business online while competing against teams from other schools. The object of the game? Make the most money by making the right business decisions!
